Your Utopia by Bora Chung

**One of TIME>Magazine's 100 Must-Read Books of 2024, and>Kirkus Reviews' Best Fiction of 2024**

Chung builds out her stories with imagination, absurdity and a dry sense of humor, all applied with X-Acto knife precision. ―Alexandra Kleeman, The New York Times Book Review

From the acclaimed author and translator of the National Book Award Finalist, Cursed Bunny, a fresh, uncanny, and utterly profound collection of stories set in near and distant futures that reflect our deepest fears--and deepest desires.

Bora Chung's inimitable blend of horror, absurdity, and dark humor reaches its peak in these tales of loss and discovery, dystopia and idealism, death and immortality. In a thrilling translation by the acclaimed Anton Hur, readers will experience a variety of possible fates for humanity, from total demise via a disease whose only symptom is casual cannibalism to a world in which even dreams can be monitored and used to convict people of crimes.

In The Center for Immortality Research, a low-level employee runs herself ragged planning a fancy gala for donors only to be blamed for the chaos that ensues during the event in front of the mysterious celebrity benefactors hoping to live forever. In A Song for Sleep, an AI elevator in an apartment complex develops a tender, one-sided love for an elderly resident. Seed traverses the final frontier of capitalism's destruction of the planet--but nature always creeps back to life.

If you haven't yet experienced the fruits of Chung's singular imagination, Your Utopia is waiting.
